Asus ROG Zephyrus M15 – untraditionally traditional notebook

You definitely know the ROG Zephyrus gaming line by Asus well, as we only recently brought you a test of the top-notch model Duo 15. The Zephyrus line started with one product, but today several models bear this tag. One of them is the M15 which, however, has little in common with the original Zephyrus. On the outside, it looks like a regular laptop without gimmicks in the form of a secondary display or the AAS.

3D/PC Mark and Unigine Heaven/Superposition

A combined PCMark 10 test shows a surprising victory of the Scar III of 11% over the new Zephyrus and also a 6% lead of G14 with AMD. Apparently, the CPU performance and the difference between the mobile and Max-Q versions of graphics cards play a role here.




However, game-oriented 3D Mark Firestrike and Time Spy are already showing a 4 and 7% lead of the new RTX Super over the last year’s Scar III. On the contrary, Sky diver is 53% slower, which is a very strange result. Compared to the Duo 15, the top model leads by 11/12/29%.




Tests focused on RTX and DLSS functions show an increase of 13/29/26% for the new Zephyrus with RTX Super graphics compared to Scar III with classic RTX, which is a very solid result.



Unigine Heaven game tests again show higher performance of the new Super model RTX 2070 in M15, where in Full HD the Zephyrus is 12% faster than Scar and 9% faster in 2K.



The last graphic tests of Unigine Superposition are already fully in the hands of the new Zephyrus with a 14 and 13% lead in Full HD and 4K over last year’s Scar III. Interestingly, on Duo 15 the M15 loses 10 and 11%.
